Luxor has only three main streets: Sharia al-Mahatta (the street in front of the train station), Sharia al-Karnak (or Maabad al-Karnak, meaning Karnak Temple Street) and the Corniche, next to the Nile.
Actually, Luxor is made of three different areas: the City of Luxor on the East side of the Nile, the town of Karnak just north of Luxor and Thebes, on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor.
Today's Luxor is a city of 150,000 inhabitants and beside the famous attractions sites, if you take a walk on the streets you might notice other interesting buildings such as the National Bank of Egypt and the Winter Palace.
And if you really want to feel the city atmosphere don't forget to take a walk in the bazaar.
- In a nutshell:Much more than an open air museum!

Superb brief offered here. Thank you :) D
Beautiful pictures of a "wanna go there" destination. Thanx for sharing!
A very interesting and detailed page with beautiful pics. Thanks Diana for bringing back sweet memories from my April trip. Yes, Luxor is worth visiting especially with cruise tour. $1 gives an opportunity to make a photo in distant tombs when tourists...
Outstanding pictures and interesting info. No video cameras, no photos inside tombs sounds very bad for me!
Marvellous photos and interesting reading. I suspect Luxor will remain a “wishlist” destination for me, but I enjoyed the ‘virtual visit’ provided by your page.
I very much enjoyed reading each and every page here! You did a great job of bring Luxor to life for me. Your photos were excellent. I'd love to buy some of those papyrus; they're beautiful!
Thanks for your kind comments about my Cuba page. I loved your Egypt photos, and especially these temple pics. Karnak is amazing, isn't it?!
foarte frumos ! I hope this is good romanian
Outstanding pictures and tips on Luxor, Diana. How did you enjoy the Nile cruise? It is something I would be interested in.
Great page about Luxor! It is really an interesting place to visit!
